Engines

Description

Engines are components that can be placed on a ship while it is docked at a shipyard. Engines provide thrust and require a power generator as well as fuel in order to function. Engines cannot be held in your inventory and must be picked up using your gauntlet when within the bubble of a shipyard that you have access to. They can be found as schematics located within chests or containers scattered around the islands or they can be learned by spending knowledge points in the knowledge tree.

Engine Statistics

Weight

The weight of the engine. This is a total of the weight of all the materials used to craft the engine.

Resilience

The hitpoints (HP or health) of the engine provided by the engine's casing. _{(also see: Resilience)}

Notable materials: Tungsten, Titanium, Nickel, Lead

Fuel Efficiency

Rate of fuel consumption. The higher this value is, the less fuel is consumed during flight.

Notable materials: Steel for the combustion internals

Overheat Limit

This mechanic has not been implemented yet. Expect this feature to be in a future early access version (0.2.X.X).

Power

An engine's power directly affects a ship's maximum velocity. The heavier a ship is, the more power is needed to reach the same velocity. The engine's power is subject to diminishing returns, meaning that doubling your power won't double your maximum velocity.

Notable materials: Tungsten, Precious metals for propellers / combustion internals (for wooden props: Oak, Ash, Birch)

Spin-up

Spin-up affects the time it takes the engine to reach the set power level.

Material Boosts

Credit for Research goes to Demodraco and his forum thread Testing was done using Q10 Copper in other slots, this means the "Percentage increase over base" is always off by the boost of Q10 copper (from the other slot boosting that particular stat)
